Organisers of Mzinda Lifestyle Fashion Show, Mzinda Premium, have said all is set for the activity.
They have further described it as a celebration of cosmopolitan lifestyle of the modern African.
This year’s Mzinda Lifestyle fashion show is scheduled for this Sunday at Bingu International Convention Centre in Lilongwe.
Mzinda Lifestyle Premium Events Manager Chris Kunda Daka said the inspiration behind the idea was to create a platform that would bring together fashion and art enthusiasts from different countries.

Area 18B Praise Sangwa of Majumbili Fashions could not hide his excitement at the prospect of showcasing items at the event.
“The brand is ready to make a comeback on the runway. I have only been to two fashion shows. The first one was in 2018 and my last show was in 2020, it’s been a long time in between. It’s exciting and I hope I will give people a good show.
